Halifax-based Quiet Parade is set to drop a new album at the Blacksheep Inn on September 19.The sound of their new self-titled disc reflects the location where it was recorded in Lake Echo described as a “secret paradise” and “artistic haven” on the outskirts of Halifax. Their gentle atmospheric indie-pop was honed by award-winning producer Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, Oh Pep, In-Flight Safety).We’ll be chatting with the band's Trevor Murphy on this week’s program. Last week, we told you about a new initiative called Marvest coming to town as part of the upcoming CityFolk festival. A number of local bands will be performing for free in unusual venues around the Glebe over the weekend of Sept 17-20.I will be featuring some of these bands over the coming weeks leading up to the festival.

This Friday, we will be chatting with local alt-indie-country artist, James Leclaire who will be releasing a CD called These Weights.
